Hi Keith,

I know Hanno pointed out the CDN 20mm mounting was the 2L1 body, but do you have the extract from the CDN bodybook giving the detailed description and side drawing of that body? They look very similar to your truck's bodywork so may be of help?

If you don't have those pages, I can scan and send. PM me your email address if interested.

I agree with you about the 4x2's performance. Had an F15 GS many years ago. Went like a train. Reasonable steering, good staying power with the rebuilt V8 and a higher speed diff centre (crown wheel & pinion from a White M3A1 scout car).

Mike

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the offer of the rear body drawings, I already have them, what I am after is a set of drawings / dimensions for the polsten set up.
Regards
Keith

As Keith continues to complete his AA truck, here is a picture I found on the internet recently.

Note the credit, but I thought it was good to share here, as it shows how original this C15 really is.

Enjoy,
Hanno

Nice one Hanno, I don't recognise the location ?
Anyhow, the Chevy now has the correct trailer to accompany her. It's a 10 cwt GS trailer which needs finishing, see picture. Manufactured by SS Cars Ltd, needs wiring, and timber to finish. I have a list of the contents of the trailer when being used behind the Chevy, so I'm also working on that as well.
Best regards
Keith

Quick update,
Just managed to purchase a pair of cushions for the rear ammo lockers on the Chevy, see attached picture. It still amazes me what is still out there to be discovered and reunited after all these years. The cushions were pictured in the latest edition of MVT mag Windscreen and came from a non military enthusiast who wanted to know what they came from. After a few e.mails to various senior members of the MVT, I made contact with the owner, and secured them.. So, another piece of the jigsaw completed
Regards
Keith
